AHMADABAD, India -- A government worker was killed and four other people were injured Friday as violence resumed in India's western state of Gujarat, where nearly 1,000 people have died in three months of Hindu-Muslim clashes. Laljibhai Chauhan, a Hindu municipality employee, was stabbed and killed by a Muslim mob on his way home from work in Jamalpur, a Muslim-dominated neighborhood of Gujarat's commercial capital, Ahmadabad. The attack on Chauhan came after an earlier incident Friday in which a Muslim was attacked by a Hindu mob.
